Hey all! I think I posted earlier in this thread, but can't find my posts.
I was about to pull the trigger on an RME ADI-2 DAC on Amazon, but I thought I remember pages ago (sometime last year?) that there was an 'updated version' of the ADI-2 silently pushed to vendors?
Where can I be sure that I'll get the latest version? Also, on Amazon it's odd - there are different vendors for the DAC, but some bundle headphones and other goodies with it, which I found a bit surprising...
EDIT: after reading the RME forums, it seems that they have done their very best to ensure that the change to the ESS DAC chip remains as "sonically indistinguishable" as possible from the AK4493 versions. I plan to buy one later today - any reason not to, at this stage?
